Amaravathi Dam

Four members of the same family drowned during a trip to the Pambar dam in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Newlywed V Nivedha, 20, was trying to take a selfie with her family in the waist-deep water. While they were posing for the photo, 14-year-old Santosh slipped and fell, dragging his family members underneath the water.

Nivedha's husband, G Perumalsamy, managed to save his 15-year-old sister Yuvarani but was unable to help his wife, and their two relatives, Sneha, 22, Kanniga, 20. They were all pronounced dead at the scene.
